Jimi was created on November 27th 1942 in Seattle, Washington and is remembered among the greatest guitarists of all time (the greatest in my experience). Jimi first became famous inside the USA (his home country) and ended his career working in london, England. Jimi made success in america when he performed in the Monteray Pop Festival in 1967, he later headlined at the Woodstock Festival in 1969. Jimi had many influences to his music, including Muddy Waters, B.B. King, Curtis Mayfield as well as Pete Townshend (The Who) and was also influenced by his Native American heritage.
Through the years Jimi helped to revolutionize music by developing several guitar techniques (using overdriven amplifiers to produce guitar feedback), and was one of the first performers to use stereophonic and phasing effects within the recording studio. Jimi is also well-known for his flamboyant dress sense and stage performances.
Jimi was found dead within the basement flat of the Samarkand Hotel in London (I visited see for myself on the visit) and the reason for death was said to be he'd died by drowning by himself vomit after drinking dark wine and taking several sleep aids. Situations leading upto Jimi's death still remain somewhat a mystery and the details change from are accountable to report.
